Food Girl's Mexican Soul
Is Ms. Wise reviewing Barrio Star or Isabel Cruz? Is this a review of a dining establishment or the chef's personal being? She appears to have a disdain for Ms. Cruz that borders on the obsessive. She also appears to think she owns the patent on the meaning of soul. Anyone so jaded and vindictive should abstain from lecturing others on the meaning of soul, let alone soul food. I'm surprised Ms. Wise is able to taste anything over all the bitterness on her tongue. This review is also very poorly written and full of misinformation and contradiction in regard to the food offered at Barrio Star and Ms. Cruz herself. Finally, one is left to wonder if Ms. Wise is a fan of Isabella Cruz as it is glaringly obvious that she is so familiar and intimate with Chef Isabel that there is no way she could enter the wrong name into Google. This is not a food review. It's the spleen venting of a nasty someone who is obviously unreasonably jealous of the chef - the true hubris is evident as being possessed by Ms. Wise, a woman who managed only to betray her insecurity and weak ego by printing a poor and slanted review that obviously comes from a woman who can't separate her personal life from her professional perspective.— August 29, 2010 9:58 p.m.
